Australian Gourmet Traveller – Top 50 Hotels in Australia 2014 and 2015

Launched for the first time in June 2014, publisher Australian Gourmet Traveller Magazine selects its pick of the country’s fifty best hotels for the annual Australian Hotel Guide. They note about The Louise: “The delights are sensory – a perfumed welcome from banked lavender, the almond and fig bath milk for one’s frothing tub, the sound of birds larking on the lawn at dawn.”

“A grand Barossa vineyard setting and dining room with terrace make an ideal venue for Appellation to present its vast list of wines. Dishes are designed to flatter what’s in the glass.”
